The TV adaptation of 'Tensei Goblin dakedo Shitsumon aru?' (roughly translated as 'I Was Reborn as a Goblin, but Do You Have a Question?') is expanding: Four new voice actors have been announced for the series, which is set to premiere in October 2026. Ginga Banjou takes on the role of Count Simon, the emperor's uncle and a notorious womanizer who serves as the border count of Ofiuks in the Orleans territory. The three elf sisters are voiced by Sayumi Suzushiro (Eirene, the eldest sister), M·A·O (Dike, the second sister), and Wakana Kuramochi (Eunomia, the youngest sister).
The new characters broaden the world of the 'strongest fantasy adventure with a goblin,' as the series is promoted by publisher Shueisha. At the center is former office worker Akira Yagami, who dies while trying to save a child and is reborn as a goblin. In this world, goblins have a lifespan of only seven days—but Akira receives the unique ability 'Human 80 Years,' allowing him to inherit the skills of goblins who died before him. Gradually, he builds a following and must not only fend off external enemies but also contend with beings such as elves, demons, and dragons.
The casting announcements were accompanied by personal comments from the voice actors. Ginga Banjou expressed enthusiasm and joked that the recordings were over 'in the blink of an eye'—so enjoyable was the work. He concluded with an invitation to a nice bar, typical of his character. Sayumi Suzushiro emphasized the development of her character Eirene, a long-lived elf who has lost her will to live and regains courage through her encounter with Akira. M·A·O highlighted Dike's calm, caring nature, as she lovingly looks after her sisters while also having a slightly clumsy side. Wakana Kuramochi, in turn, described Eunomia as an energetic, somewhat prickly youngest child who adopts a tsundere attitude toward Akira.
In March 2026, the main roles were already cast: Kikunosuke Taniya voices the protagonist Akira, Yoko Hikasa plays Karen, the mediator between humans and goblins, and Asaki Tachibana voices the demon Chloe. The director is Ryuta Kawahara, the screenplay is by Yuichiro Momose, the character design is by Hiroyuki Saida, the music is by Takenoko Shonen, and the animation production is handled by Studio BAKKKA. The original work, written by Nazuna Miki and illustrated by Tsukasa Araki, is serialized on the platform 'Tonari no Young Jump'; the printed volumes have now reached a total circulation of over 850,000 copies. At AnimeJapan 2026, special Akira masks were distributed for free, and a first teaser visual as well as a promotional video offered a glimpse of the upcoming spectacle.
